Hello! My name is Melanie, and I am a college student and nanny. I have 3 years of professional/paid childcare experience, but my love for children began when I was 10 and offered to volunteer in my church's nursery. I held a baby for the first time and was immediately in love . I have been professionally hired by 5 wonderful families with their children ranging from newborn all the way up to 11 years old. I have extensive experience caring for children with developmental, behavioral and speech disorders/delays such as ASD and ADHD. I integrate techniques such as Montessori, child-led problem solving and respectful caregiving, to help nurture your child into the best little person they can be! I am happy to prepare meals, assist with schoolwork, and provide light housekeeping when necessary. I also speak English and Spanish fluently, have my own transportation, do not smoke and love Read more cats and dogs. My background checks are available upon request.Ultimately, my goal in being a nanny is to help make your life easier and give you back time with your family. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!
